Camp opens Monday, first under coach Chip Kelly

Lane Johnson concluded his pre-training camp negotiations and reached a four-year contract agreement with the Philadelphia Eagles. Word of the deal came ahead of the team opening training camp Monday.

It will be the first camp for Johnson and the team's rookies — including new coach Chip Kelly. Rookie report Monday; veterans are due Thursday as preseason work begins across the NFL.

Johnson, an offensive tackle from Oklahoma, was the fourth overall pick in April's 2013 NFL Draft. He was the last Eagles pick to agree to terms in a deal announced Saturday night.

Johnson was the third tackle drafted among the first four picks. He was a quarterback in high school and went to Oklahoma as a tight end. Johnson switched to defensive end in 2010 and then moved to the offensive line because of injuries. He started at right tackle in 2011 and left tackle last year.

Selected veterans will join Monday's workouts at the team's new facilities in South Philadelphia.

Johnson's primary assignment will be to protect the quarterback. Kelly's task will be to decide which of the QBs will be his starter. Michael Vick will be challenged by Nick Foles, rookie Matt Barkley and journeyman Dennis Dixon.

Kelly, who replaces long-time coach Andy Reid, is leaving the job open for now.

"Everywhere I've been it's played itself out on the field," Kelly told the Delaware County Times. "Does that mean it's going to happen here? I don't know. But I've never been in a situation where we've had to make a decision and it's like 50-50 … pick it out of a hat. Somebody over the course of time has stepped up and has won the battle."
